Why does my script not work? Can a variable not have more than one of the same beginning?

What I mean is, I have a script in a part. When I click the part, A noise is supposed to play, and then a ball is to be created at the given vector. It also checks if an "IntValue" is atleast 5 and then subtracts 5. But nothing works, and no error is in the output. Here's the script:

local part = script.Parent
local db = false

function gum(hit)
	local human = hit.Parent
	local character = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
	if character then
		if not db then
			
			db = true
			
			if character.leaderstats.Money.Value >= 5 then
				
				character.leaderstats.Money.Value = character.leaderstats.Money.Value - 5
				
			
			
			part.Sound:Play()
			wait(2)
			local ball = game.Lighting.ball
			ball:Clone().Parent = game.Workspace
			ball.Position = Vector3.new(31,12,-6)
			ball.Anchored = false
			
			db = false
			
			else
				print("You need more money!")
				
			end
		end
	end
end

part.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(gum)

All help is appreciated!

##Problem

ClickDetectors automatically get the player object. Since it's not a particular part hitting the ClickDetectors but a player interaction, it would make sense for the parameter to be a player object. If you were to use the .Touched event of parts, then this method would work.

##Solution

Forget about trying to get through a character and just use the player parameter.

You would also want to put db = false at the end of the else code for the if then statement on line 10. Otherwise the button would be stuck.

##Final Script

local part = script.Parent
local db = false

function gum(player) --Parameter given to the function is the player through the click detector, not a part of the character.
    if player then
        if not db then

            db = true

            if player.leaderstats.Money.Value >= 5 then
                player.leaderstats.Money.Value = player.leaderstats.Money.Value - 5

                part.Sound:Play()
                wait(2)
                local ball = game.Lighting.ball
                ball:Clone().Parent = game.Workspace
                ball.Position = Vector3.new(31,12,-6)
                ball.Anchored = false

                db = false

            else
                print("You need more money!")
                db = false --You do not want your button getting stuck.
            end

        end
    end
end

part.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(gum)
